Hi, I have a form which is made up for 3 tables and I am trying to create an append query for each one in order to keep records of data before it is updated. The append queries seem to work but they append all data rather than just one selected record. I know I will next need to create a macro which can be used each time a record has been updated and a copy is sent to the archive. Can anyone help me with this, or have any useful suggestions?
This works but the problem i have is, when i add an entry via a form or do anything else via a form. This does not get updated?. I check the properties of the table and that isn't either.
When i then modify something manually in the table (go in and change it). It then updates.
Is there something im doing wrong or is there a better way to check the last updated.
I have a database that stores information for lab testing. Each time a tech does a "step" in the test process he logs it in the table, using an input form. There are different categories, for example preparation, testing, analysis, etc, and each of those steps take time. I have the form autopopulate the date and time with NOW() evertime the form is updated. What i want to do is calculate the time it takes to do each in days. I can easily get how many days it was from now since they logged the test, =NOW()-TestDateTime. What I want to do is get the number of days it took to do each step, ie the number of days between each event. Is there a way to do this?
currently on my db it stores data on various projects, and these projects are sorted by a status of on hold, on going, or finished. What im trying do is move only the projects that are finished but still keeping a record of them so we can view them in the future.
i was thinking maybe i could move the finished projects into another db? but not sure how to do, or is there a better way to achieve this?
At certain times, I want to archive employees out (lets say they are terminated). When I do this, something strange happens. If an employee has 4 records in the servicedata table and 4 records in the Classdata table, then it exports out 16 records (4 x 4). I would expect it to export out 8 records.
My office workstation took a very long time to connect to database in Access 2003 after upgrading to Windows XP, a few minutes need to be taken just to open a simple form which normally takes less than 10 seconds. In simple words, whenever it has to retrieve data from the db, it will be super lagging .
The rest of the workstations running on Windows 2000 were running perfectly fine.
The database is located on the host pc, which is running Windows 2000.
Initially we suspected that it might be because of the insufficient RAM. Thus it was changed from 1GB to 2GB. But even after changing to 2GB, the problem still exists.
Can anyone please advice me on how to check and rectify this problem? What can be the cause of this problem?
I'm trying to create an archiving routine as my database is becoming very large. For about 10 tables I want to shift certain records to an external database which would have the required 10 tables with the same table names and structure.
So far so good. I now want to automate everything using vba. I can see how to use the INSERT INTO statement but I don't want to have to name every field as there are hundreds. I just can't see how to do this.
If the table structures are identical how do I neatly shift a bunch of records from one to the other using code.
I'm trying to create an archiving system, where i use a simple Append Query followed by a Delete Query.
A typical criteria for the Append Query is less than Date()-30...so any records older than 30 days can be appended to an archive table. This works fine when i enter it in the Query Design criteria row.
But, I would like to make this user-defined. I have set up an unbound form as shown in the first attachment...and made a global variable entitled 'ArchiveDays'. I am hoping to use the variable to act as the criteria for the append criteria. (Please note that in the screendump...they can select an option button if they just want to stick to 1 month old. I also show you my assignment operations there).
My question is... how do i get the variable 'ArchiveDays' value to be the criteria for my append query....
Displaying the 'Last Modified' dates and time on a form. How to go about doing what I want to do.
I would like to display on a form in one single field the date & time that any of the fields on that form were changed and. I would like to display it in such a way that it cannot be altered by anyone. If it is possible to capture and display on the form in a separate field which user account accessed and changed the record then all the better. Obviously if nothing is updated then the date and time stays the same.
I will have to create two new fields in the table that relates to the form and this I have done - one of format Date/Time and one of format Text.
Is it possible for a query to automatically get updated each time a table is added. For example I am looking at prices and each month a new table of information is added for that month and I use a query to view each month next to each other. Is there a way that each time I add a table the query will automatically update?
I have a database with a form called "Main" where users input data and then print a report from it. "Main" has fields in it from another form "Members". This data (from "Members") is shown on "Main' by Dlookup coding, and therefore cannot be selected for input by the user. Now, lets say a user inputs data into "Main" and prints the report on 12/30/2012. On the next day, a member's name is changed and I update that data in the "Members" form. On 12/31, I would like to print the report again, but it shows the updated member's name instead of what is was like on 12/30. How can I keep the old data in case I want to print the report in the future like it was initially printed? What do I need to do to any form(s), report or what VBA code needs to be written?

I have been stuck on this one all weekend long, can it be done. thank you.
I have a very simple database used by 3 users at a time. It is split into BE and FE. One user accesses the DB with queries only so I have created a DB with the master file linked - and literaly nothing else, She will then create and save all of her queries here. But - I want to keep her from accidently updating the file from here. I can't seem to find a simple solution to simply not allowing her to update. Any ideas? Thanks - Dika
This one is driving me NUTS! I have a form with a combobox, a few textboxes, and a sub-form. On Load the form is populated with a sql command/rcSet.Fields() results. The user then chooses a status from the combobox to narrow down the results. The combobox OnChange event looks like this... sDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtS_Date.Value eDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtE_Date.Value xJob = Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC").lstJob.Value
On Error GoTo hd_dvrErr 'this gets the top of the HD/DVR form sSQL = "SELECT Count(*) AS Total, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth] In ('C','E'),0,1)) AS Error, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='C',1,0)) AS [Credit Card], Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='E',1,0)) AS EFT " & _ "FROM [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)] " & _ "WHERE ((([tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].CDATE) Between #" & sDate & "# And #" & eDate & "#) AND (([tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].JOB_TYPE) Like '" & xJob & "*'));"
Set db = CurrentDb() Set rcSet = db.OpenRecordset(sSQL)
With Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC") .txtTotal.Value = rcSet.Fields(0) .txtError.Value = rcSet.Fields(1) .txtCC.Value = rcSet.Fields(2) .txtEFT.Value = rcSet.Fields(3) End With

Set qdTemp = db.QueryDefs("qry_HD/DVR") qdTemp.SQL = sSQL qdTemp.Close

I have used similar code on another form and everytime the search criteria changes the sub form updates to reflect such. I know I am missing something small; can somebody please point it out?:D I need to have the subform show the updated (choice from combo) criteria.
If this seems to cloudy, please let me know and I will try and revise
I am running repeated calculation queries of different data, but its is not working to well. I have one query listing the total number of hats made from wool. I then have a second query of that lists the total number of hats made from wool and are black. I have third query that calculates the percentage. I have many different hats of many different colors, and i am doing the same three queries over and over. However, the calculated field for percentages does not update. E.G. I have 100 wool hats, 10 wool,black hats, 10%. The next round: i have 100 wool hats, 5 wool green hats, its will still show me 10%, as its is still calculating based on the previous data. how can i go about this most efficiently and why is not updating?
I maintain a shared database that I would like other users to be able to see when the data was last updated when they open it so that they can see how up to date the information is from the switchboard.
Currently I am doing this manually by updating the date in a label on the switchboard header, but ideally I would like to add a final action to my update macro (that imports new data into the database) that would automatically do this for me on completion if possible.
I have developed an application using MS Access and MySql tables. The Access forms maintain/display orders that are stored in the MySQL linked tables. The MySql tables can also be updated independently by another process. The problem is that the Access forms do not reflect the backend changes when they are made by the other process.
For the moment I have implemented an on Timer process that causes a requerys for the forms every 5 seconds but this is not very elegant and causes the form screens to flicker.
Is there a better way I can automatically make the front end forms reflect changes to the back-end database when it is updated indepenently ?
Hi, I have a VB6 application talking to Access DB. The program was suppose to do some audit tracking but due to a bug it didn't create data in Audit table. Is there a way i can retreive data which is updated (Old values) for 2 tables. If there is a tool/utility i can buy please let me know.
I've been making small changes here and there to my database in Access 2013. I have left the original database in place and it has acquired many new records from the last month. I'm ready to start using the newly updated design version of the database, but I do not want to have to type all those new records into the new database to get it up-to-date. There has to be a way to import the data from the original database to the newly updated one.
Most, If not all of the fields have the same names, but some of the fields have changed, like to Combo boxes. I removed two or three unneeded fields, and added two or three. I understand the new fields will need to have data enter to them, but the remaining would be redundant and inefficient if I have to reenter all the recent records again.
How do I import the data from the original two tables to the new updated database? I only have two tables and they use a One-to-One relationship in both databases. The table's names are different, but as I mentioned earlier, the fields are mostly the same. Do I need to import into Excel, and then modify the data slightly, and then import into my new database?
I have an application which creates 200 rows a day. As you can imagine the tables get big very quickly. Is there a mechansim that I can use to archive off the tables to a new seperate database rather than to a table in the same database. I would like to perfom this by allowing the user to click on a button and perform the archiving automatically.
my users are non technical and requesting them to perform any tasks behind the scenes would not be an option.
I need some help working out a way to archive records. All i really want is a button on a form that when clicked deletes the record currently displayed on the form from its table and moves it to another table that i will call 'archives'.
I think it might have something to do with using an append query but i cannot think how to do it.
I have no idea how to even begin an archive. Can anyone give some direction? I've spent two days searching the web and trying to understand the Microsoft website directions along with Access for dummies. The only thing I can find is something about using Products_Appends and Products_Delete queries.
Im about to create a button on a form that will archive the current record to an archive table.....
The question is, Before I start to look into this, I would just like to clarify what I do.
I assume firstly I would need to make an exact copy of my current table, them remove all data, then change name to something like "tbl_archive_data" ( this would be to hold the archive info right ? ) Once I have done this, I`m assuming i`ll have to make some sort of query that will copy the data to the new table, then delete the record from my current table ? Then I`ll have to create a button on my form, which can be cliocked on by the user to archive this particualr record...
In a nutshell, would this be sort of the correct way to do this ???
Any recommendations/advice will be much appreciated on this.
I know there is already some archive details in the forum, but none of them really made much sence, as they were answers to problems with this already half done....
